FAQ mod for CPG-1.4
« on: June 27, 2005, 12:04:01 pm »

FAQ mod for Coppermine Photo Gallery version 1.4.

It has three PHP scripts attached in the zip.

First script is 'faqInstaller.php' which is used to handle installation of FAQ mod.

Second script is 'myfaq.php' which is used to display FAQs with their categories and, if logged in as admin, to delete FAQs and their categories.

Third script is 'manageFAQ.php' which is used by admin to add/edit FAQs and their categories.

To install this mod, unzip the PHP files where you have installed your CPG. Run 'faqInstaller.php' as admin from your web browser, ex:- http://www.somedomain.com/cpg/faqInstaller.php and it will create two database tables.

If you already have any one of these two database tables created then you have to move or delete those tables and run the installer again.

After installation is done, please remove 'faqInstaller.php' for security purpose and access FAQ URL, ex:- http://www.somedomain.com/cpg/myfaq.php to view/manage your FAQs.

For the first time, there are no FAQs/categories. You have to create the FAQ/category by logged in as admin and to click on one of the 'Add New Category' or 'Add FAQ Entry' links.

If you click on 'Add New Category' link then a pop-up window will open which has a textbox to enter title for new category. You cannot have two categories with same title.

If you click on 'Add New Entry' link then a pop-up window will open which has a drop-down of categories (if exists), a textarea to enter question text and another textarea to enter answer text. You can save FAQ in any category or if you do not want to save the FAQ in any category then select 'No category' option. You can use CPG's bbcodes for answer's text.

To edit/delete any FAQ/category, click on respective links next to FAQ/category titles.

If you delete a category which has FAQs then those FAQs will be moved under root category.

You have to manually add link for FAQ page in the navigation area.

That's all  :)

Collapsible category tree
« Reply #1 on: July 20, 2005, 01:46:33 pm »

Hi all,

More modifications made in FAQ mod to make category tree collapsible.

The attached zip contains modified myfaq.php and two images. The images should be placed in your coppermine installation's images directory and it must be 'images'.

That's all !!!

Screenshot to view how this looks :-

Nice but i've get this error message when i run faqInstaller.php, do you know why ?
(CPG 1.4.0 in Admin mode)
Code: [Select]
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: cpg_db_fetch_row() in /var/www/MyHost.fr/b/f/webotron/myDir/faqInstaller.php on line 18 Line 18 is visible here :
Code: [Select]
// Query to select tables in the database
$query = 'SHOW TABLES FROM '.$CONFIG['dbname'];
$result = cpg_db_query($query);

while ($row = cpg_db_fetch_row($result)) {
  if ($row[0] == $CONFIG['TABLE_PREFIX'].'faqs') {
    $faqTableExists = true;
  } else if ($row[0] == $CONFIG['TABLE_PREFIX'].'faqCategories') {
    $categoryTableExists = true;
  } else if ($faqTableExists && $categoryTableExists) {

Hi PYAP,

The function 'cpg_db_fetch_row' exists in 'functions.inc.php' of CPG-1.4.x. Please check your file, if the function is not there please get the updated file from cvs.

The function 'cpg_db_fetch_row' is not in my mod but in CPG-1.4.x itself, so it is possible that there is something wrong in your 'functions.inc.php' file.

Yes. You can.

Pascal: cpg1.4.0 is completely outdated, there have been huge changes from the alpha release to the cpg1.4.1 beta. It's mandatory that you upgrade to cpg1.4.1, preferably the latest devel cvs checkout. There's no point in hunting down particular issues for cpg1.4.0.

Database table modifications for multi-level categories
« Reply #11 on: August 17, 2005, 08:45:20 am »

For database table modifications related to multi-level categories, you have to run following two queries :-

Code: [Select]
ALTER TABLE `cpg140_faqCatgeoriesTest` ADD `parentCategory` INT NOT NULL AFTER `categoryId`;
Code: [Select]
ALTER TABLE `cpg140_faqCatgeoriesTest` ADD INDEX (`parentCategory`);
Also don't forget to change database table prefix according to your need.

Have you got the correct version of CPG? The version you have selected is 1.3.x and this mod is only for 1.4.x

Yes, there is a mod for 1.3.x
http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=20077.0
But a lot of features are missing from it like collapsible tree and multi-level categories.

If you know PHP, you can take this 1.4 mod and change it for 1.3
As far as I know, some function names related to database needs to be changed. But do it on your own risk. :)
